Ransom Canyon ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Blog Tour Promo*

From New York Times
bestselling author Jodi Thomas comes the first book in a compelling,
emotionally resonant series set in a remote west Texas town—where family can be
made by blood or by choice.

Rancher
Staten Kirkland, the last descendant of Ransom Canyon's founding father, is
rugged and practical to the last. No one knows that when his troubling memories
threaten to overwhelm him, he runs to lovely, reclusive Quinn O'Grady…or that
she has her own secret that no one living knows.

Young Lucas Reyes has his eye on the
prize—college, and the chance to become something more than a ranch hand's son.
But one night, one wrong decision, will set his life on a course even he hadn't
imagined.

Yancy Grey is running hard from his
troubled past. He doesn't plan to stick around Ransom Canyon, just long enough
to learn the town's weaknesses and how to use them for personal gain. Only
Yancy, a common criminal since he was old enough to reach a car's pedals, isn't
prepared for what he encounters.

In this dramatic new series, the lives, loves and ambitions of four
families will converge, set against a landscape that can be as unforgiving as
it is beautiful, where passion, property and pride are worth fighting—and even
dying—for.

“Ransom Canyon is
a tale of redemption and hope filled with authentic dialogue and characters
engaging enough to chat with over a cup of coffee.” – Fort Worth Star Telegram

“Western romance legend Thomas opens her latest series in
a small Texas town…. Ransom Canyon
will warm readers with its huge heart and gentle souls. For all romance
collections.” – Library Journal

“Once again a delightful entry into a new series by a
favorite of mine. Jodi Thomas has the ability to reel me in every time with her
enterprising, intelligent and caring cast of characters and RANSOM CANYON has
some of the best yet. ” – Fresh Fiction

A fifth-generation Texan, New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Jodi Thomas chooses to set the
majority of her novels in her home state, where her grandmother was born in a
covered wagon. A former teacher, Thomas traces the beginning of her
storytelling career to the days when her twin sisters were young and
impressionable.

When not working on a novel or inspiring
students to pursue a writing career, Thomas enjoys traveling with her husband,
renovating a historic home they bought in Amarillo and “checking up” on their
two grown sons.
